James & Lonni's Blog

I propped the babies up in their crib for pictures and Miles wanted to get in on the action. So there's one of him with the twins in the background. Darling.

Julia

Julia is so beautiful. I think her eyes remind me of jewels, just like her name. She's got a great apetite so she's super chubby and so fun to cuddle and squeeze! She is so funny. Peek-a-Boo is her favorite thing to do. We usually know she's awake when we hear her taking. She talks all the time and I swear she sings! Any time I sing she tries to join in. She loves her hands. She admires them all the time, it's like she's just impressed with how they look and what they can do. When Miles enters the room she instantly smiles or laughs. Of course she has a special bond with Lincoln and loves to lay next to him. Sometimes we plop Lincoln on top of her (he weighs less!) and they bolth laugh and laugh. We have to be careful though not to leave them lying too close together for very long because they aren't good yet at controling their movements and one of them usually ends up with a smacked face or pulled hair. We call her Jewles or Jewelzie, along with gorgeous, pretty lovely, etc!

Lincoln

Lincoln is a very happy and patient little guy. When he smiles he gets this look in his eyes that just melts my heart. He's very photogenic. He seems to know he needs to pose for pictures, it's adorable. His hair is gorgeous. At 8 months he's still got the bald spot on back but everywere else he's got long tight curly hair. His constant moving in my womb was a sign of things to come. He's incredibly active and really great at entertaining himself. He's very curious and already eyes Miles' toys like he's eager to play with them. He loves to laugh and is super ticklish! His nicknames are Linkie, Links, Binkie and Binks.

Miles

For Miles 2009 has been a year of great discoveries. His language skills are so amazing I can't believe he was only just begining to speak in sentences at the first of the year. Now he speaks like an adult and is very clever! He's a cuddle bug and often says "I want to hold you!" He loves his cousins and is turning into a wonderful big brother. He loves Thomas, Disney, Curious George, Super Why, Dinosaur Train and the list goes on. He's wearing size 4T and size 11 shoe. He's 40" tall, I know because he's tall enough to ride Soarin' at Disney! His new talents include: the best train noise I've ever heard, figuring out how to play kids games online (without the luxury of literacy) and clever sayings like: It's a yummy day! He's got an amazing memory and reminds us of things that happened so long ago we're often impressed. He's a good dancer but he's very shy. Things he's not so good at: brushing his teeth and potty training! We nicknamed him Milo James Thatch when he loved the Disney movie Atlantis.
